2. Before hydrotesting the pump all air must be
removed from the suction priming chamber. This is
done by:
(a) Removing ¼" pipe plug from check valve cover
plate (76).
(b) Installing a ¼" pet cock valve (not supplied by
ITT) in place of pipe plug.
(c) With pet cock open fi ll casing (1) with fl uid being
pumped through fi ller plug (98) provided on top
of casing. Do not close pet cock until all air is
out of casing (as shown by a solid stream of liquid
coming out of pet cock).
(d) Close pet cock, reinstall fi ller plug. Unit is now
ready for hydrotest.
DISASSEMBLY
If you need to replace impeller, wear plate, shaft seal, front
oil lip seal, bearing or check valve, follow these steps:
1. Drain pump casing completely by removing drain
plug (2) from both suction and discharge chamber.
2. Drain seal cavity oil by removing drain plug (27)
from bearing housing.
NOTE: A mixture of oil and water does not neces-
sarily indicate a seal failure. Inspect seal for damage
and replace if needed.
3. Drain bearing cavity oil by removing drain plug (28).
NOTE: If oil is mixed with water, shaft seal and
front oil lip seal must be inspected for failure.
4. Remove bearing housing support (35) capscrews
from base.
5. Disconnect coupling or "V" belt.
6. Remove capscrews (102) which hold seal plate (10)
to casing (1).
7. Pull complete assembly including bearing housing
assembly, seal plate and impeller (91) from pump
casing.
8. Remove impeller nut (4) and impeller washer (5)
from the shaft (38). Pry out the impeller (91) using
wedges behind the impeller.
NOTE: Check impeller for any broken vanes or
wear. If it is necessary, replace it.
Refer to impeller-nut torque value before reinstalling
impeller nut.
9. Remove wear plate (89) by removing locknut (116)
through the clean-out cover (83) hole. Check wear
plate for wear. Replace if required.
10. Remove seal assembly (17) from seal well as follows:
(a) Remove spring and rotating element of the seal.
(b) Pry out the stationary element gently from the
seal cavity by using screw driver. OR if seal plate
is removed from the shaft, the stationary seal will
slide out off the shaft along with the seal plate.
Be careful not to damage stationary element by
letting it hit the shaft.
NOTE: Before reinstalling seal assembly, make sure
that the rubber o-ring and both mating silicon-car-
bide rings, rubber bellows and shaft surface under
8
seal are in good condition. Make sure to lubricate
with water before reinstalling. If necessary, replace
seal assembly.
11. Remove capscrews (33) to disassemble bearing
housing from seal plate.
NOTE: Check gasket (105). If worn, replace it.
12. Remove the shaft assembly with bearings and bearing
carrier out of the bearing housing (31).
13. Check both lip seals (42), replace if necessary.
14. Remove the snap ring (106) from the bearing carrier
(110) which will allow the bearing carrier (110) to
slide off the shaft (38), along with o-ring (109).
15. Remove snap ring (108) from the shaft (38).
16. Check the bearings. If they feel rough when turning
by hand, replace the bearings. Remove bearings (36
and 117) from the shaft (38) using a hydraulic press.
17. If your pump is supplied with a shaft sleeve (24), the
sleeve is locked in place with a roll pin (101) and an
o-ring (104) to prevent leakage under the sleeve or
shaft sleeve. To remove shaft sleeve, push the roll pin
into the shaft (shaft has a drilled through hole) and
pull the sleeve from the shaft along with the o-ring.
Push the roll pin out of the shaft. Pump with slotted
shaft sleeve, pull the sleeve along with o-ring from
the shaft. Replace shaft sleeve, o-ring and roll pin if
necessary.
Check o-ring and shaft sleeve. If damaged, replace as
necessary.
When reinstalling the sleeve onto the shaft, make
sure that the roll pin is installed fl ush or maximum
.005" under the sleeve O.D.
Follow the above procedure in reverse to reassemble
the pump.
NOTE:
(1) Make sure all gaskets, o-rings and sealing sur-
faces of the check valve are in good condition
before reassembly. Replace as is necessary.
(2) Make a heavy bead of "GASKET ELIMINATOR"
Loctite #518 or equivalent all around the outer
edge, inner edge and around the mounting holes
on the wear plate (89) before reinstalling wear
plate onto the pump casing (1) for sealing.
